New: Schedule text messages
February 25, 2025
Last year, we released the ability to schedule Church Center announcements and emails, and today, we’re bringing this to text messaging!
When you want to text congregants on a list or select profiles on a list, you have the same options: send it immediately or schedule it for up to a month in the future. According to carrier restrictions, you can only schedule text messages from 8AM to 9PM. When the time comes for the text to go out, texts go to who you’ve selected or who is on the list at that time.
To ensure you have enough delivery credits, consider enabling auto-filling credits for your organization.
You can view or edit your scheduled texts via “Text messages” section in “Message history” or via this icon on your list:
We hope this supports your teams’ ability to plan out your communications!
💙 The People Team,
Zane, Usborn, Shawn, Shane, Kody, Julia, Gabi, Fred, Dave, Beth, and Benson
